Agriculture

“Washington’s farmers and ranchers are critical to our state’s economy, environment, and quality of life. I know our farmers face constant challenges – from difficult market conditions and changing weather patterns, to natural disasters and high input costs. I have consistently fought in Washington, D.C. for our agricultural producers, farmworkers, and rural communities. I will continue to work to ensure our farmers have a safety net to help them get through hard times, access to domestic and international markets for their high-quality farm products, and housing, education, and job training opportunities for farmworkers.”

My Priorities

Providing federal funding for agricultural research to help promote scientific advances, which farmers and ranchers rely on to stay competitive.
